Sim Bhullar to New Mexico St

The 7'4 center decommited from Xavier today and has now enrolled in New Mexico St University. The Cincinnati Enquirer first broke the news and got a statement as to why the four star recruit is no longer going to Xavier. "The whole time I was going to go to Xavier, I was really looking forward to it. The last few days I found out that i didn't qualify and I would have to regular tuition price this year. My family wasn't ready to pay that much. We were looking for other option that would be cheaper."

New Mexico St is almost $20,000 dollars a year than Xavier.

Bhullar reclassified and will now play this winter for the Aggies after originally being part of the 2012 class. Bhullar has been called the "Indian Yao Ming" while he and his younger brother, Tanveer, have been labeled as the face of Indian Basketball. Bhullar may have to sit out the first few games but come WAC conference play he should be allowed to play and should make an immediate impact.

Xavier's 2012 class is now down to only three members: three star point guard Semaj Christon, three star shooting guard Myles Davis and two star power forward James Farr.
